The word is spelled "ridiculous" not "rediculous". I'm not a grammar Nazi and understand typos and errors with auto-correct happen. I just wanted to put this out there because for some reason I see the wrong spelling of this word thrown around the hive all. the. time.
@RunnerBride13: LMAO! When you post a grammar Nazi thread, you're bound to make a mistake yourself, OP.
More recently..."n" does not equal "and".
This has been the scariest thing I've seen around these parts lately. In many many instances.
It usually annoys me to see "weird" spelled "wierd". It's just weird.
Actually....http://grammarist.com/spelling/spelled-spelt/
@nickels: What I find even funnier and more annoying...people who pronounce ridiculous as "riddic-uh-lous", rather than "riddic-you-lus". Get's me every time!
Definitely, not definately/defanately/defiantly...
Also, YOU + ARE = you're, and your shows posession... example: You're going to your party.
THEY + ARE = they're, their shows posession, and there refers to a location... example: They're putting their coats over there.
You are going to have a terrible headache from pounding your head against this brick wall!
@RunnerBride13 & @scampersand I was raised in England so it's that way over there, but not too much over here.
@DaneLady: Haha that reminds me of Ross on Friends. "Oh-oh-oh, and by the way, Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E means 'you are.' Y-O-U-R means 'your!'"
Also, apostrophes NEVER EVER EVER make plurals...
Honestly, if the title of a thread literally makes my eyes twitch I don't even bother to open it. I have even gone so far as to delete people from my facebook friend list because their posts were incomprehensible and practically illiterate. 
HAHA! I find this thread hilarious!! I correct people's grammar ALL THE TIME! I can't help it. Especially when someone is talking, it is like nails on a chalkboard! Mostly when people say eXpresso and not eSpresso. Oh lord, me oh my!!! I think it makes someone sound uneducated =/
This is funny! I am the world’s worst speller and this fact keeps me from posting as much as I'd like to because I don't you gals to think I’m dumb. Give me a math equation I will solve it, but the moment you ask me how to spell or where a comma goes in a sentences you’ve lost me lol
@karenlinebarger: So I guess you LOVE when people say "eXspecially...." ;)
@nickels: :D
Also, it's "should HAVE", not "should of" :)
or i AXED him ... really you took an ax to a human being or you ASKED them the question?
@RunnerBride13: Actually, "spelt" is also correctt:

ETA: I see someone beat me to it, never mind!
I use spelled and spelt pretty interchangeably. I am in Canada and was raised by an Englishwoman. I get "called out" on it sometimes, but then have to remind people the whole world does not live in America ;)
I wonder how long it will take til this thread gets shut down. Wedding bee spell check would be great though. I hate it when I make a typo.
Threads like this give me hope. Every time I see Bee pluralized as a Bee's in a thread title, I want to give up on humanity just a little. Likewise for all the other corrections listed here. Any time I see someone post a long message without errors, that person is my new dear friend.
Irregardless it's only the responsable thing to do Your not fooling anyone.
There are a few others that bother me, and I'm totally not a grammar Nazi.
I am guilty...For some reason that is one word I ALWAYS get wrong...along with jewellry, alcohol, and I'm sure there are more I can add to my list. I consider myself to be very good with grammar and spelling...but I've got about ten words that F**K me up every time, no matter how hard I try to remember and get it right! Sorry!
@HisIrishPrincess: A friend of mine got attacked in a bar after laughing at someone who "axed" her a question. :S New Yorkers are crazy...
lol I'm not a good speller, but I do get somewhat irked by your/you're/their/there/they're and especially should of instead of have. I am, however, somewhat of a sloppy typer and overall lazy-dasiy and some of my past posts are a mess.
When I read the American spellign of jewellery I always go...'what?' until I realise it is correct for you guys.
Where I'm from the dialect (and also general thoughts on education/coolness...i.e it's not cool to be educated' people on FB type 'a' or 'ah' instead of 'I'... Like 'a went to the shops today' etc. It upsets me as I am SURE they know what 'I' is... don't they?
H2Bs cousins wife ALWAYS types 'OMG a am so i'll' on facebook. I'll meaning ill. I hope it is autocorrect.
wow! I got all nasty there! Sorry!
From the Latin ridere, to laugh at!
I never get it wrong thanks to Latin.
@Happy2bMrs: What I find even funnier and more annoying...people who pronounce ridiculous as "riddic-uh-lous", rather than "riddic-you-lus". Get's me every time!
did anyone else find themselves saying this out loud to hear the difference?! luckily i say it the right way
Mine? Its 'hear hear!" NOT here here. i want to correct it every time i see it (but nobody likes people who do that so i refrain!)
I don't think that people on weddingbee understand apostrophes. I can't count how many times I have seen the following:
"How many BM's did you have?"
"How many day's to your wedding?"
"Do your FH's do this?"
Apostrophes are for contractions (will not = won't, would not = wouldn't) and possession (Carly's veil, BM's shoes). If you are ever tempted to throw in an apostrophe, as yourself what belongs to the noun/pronoun in question.
i think your all being very rediculous. their are many people who don't know there grammer its not there fault. do all the bee's know there grammer?
sorry. couldnt help it :P. i was trying to work in a 'per say' but it was taking too much concentration as my brain was rebelling against deliberately choosing the wrong options
@newname_99: I would love to see that post with grammar as "grammer."
